Under the circumstances described it should not be difficult but you are pre-mature to do so on the statutory authority only which requires two years of no parenting and no support. Additionally, please realize a termination of rights (parenting time and/or visitation and input) does not necessarily mean a termination for obligations for support. You should prepare the way by seeing an attorney and starting to build your case.

I wish to inform you that you can terminate rights of other parents on the ground that other parent is an unfit person. You can have the rights terminated by filing a petition to terminate paternal rights in court. You can include fathers imprisonment, lack of contact and support as bases for termination of paternal rights.
